Golf, shopping, casinos,
exciting nightlife, hiking in a nature preserve, snorkeling, kayaking,
windsurfing, and swimming with dolphins are all features of Freeport and Lucaya
on Grand Bahama Island. The emerald green, crystal clear water and sugar white
beaches are not only beautiful, but are also ideal for the whole spectrum of
activities.
Grand Bahama Island lies just 50 miles east of
Florida and is a major tourist destination. The fourth largest island in the
Bahamas group, Grand Bahama covers more than 530 square miles. The island has
four 18 hole golf courses, one 9 hole course, and more than 30 tennis courts.
Grand Bahama Island’s hotels and casinos are of a caliber that has earned them
the title of “New World Riviera.”
The momentum
of today’s thriving industries on Grand Bahama Island began in the 1950s when
the cities of Freeport and Lucaya were developed specifically as resort areas.
Since that time, visitors have been at the center of island life. They are
welcomed and entertained with genuine warmth and hospitality.
Guests can play water volleyball in an over-sized
swimming pool, soak in a hot Jacuzzi or sip an island cocktail at the poolside
Tiki Bar while the children are at their own on-site playground. There are two
casinos, dozens of bars and restaurants, and facilities where fishing boats can
be chartered and jet skis and scuba gear rented. Freeport and Lucaya are the
embodiment of tropical entertainment.
Grand Bahama is the fourth
largest island in the Bahamian archipelago and boasts over 660 miles of pristine
beaches and pine forests. The island of Grand Bahama stretches nearly one
hundred miles from east to west, but is only 17 miles across at its widest
point.
Downtown Freeport, with its wide boulevards, called "dual carriageways,"
revolves around the Moorish dome of the Princess Casino, right off the busy
roundabout called Ranfurly Circus. Nearby, the International Bazaar is an
extensive collection of boutiques with an international theme.
Grand Bahama Island is an
ecological wonder with nature preserves and trails to explore. Its endless
beaches, charming fishing villages and fascinating marine life are just some of
the island's attractions that make this a tropical paradise and a unique
vacation destination.
